[game_preservation] a useful site?

[Martin Goldberg]

Devin, it's not for the 810 it's in the shape of a tiny 810 drive.

The neat thing about it was crafting it to look like a mini 810,
otherwise alternative modern storage (CF and SD cards) solutions have
been around for years (early to mid 2000's) for most older computers.

For Amiga:

Atari 8-bit:

Commodore 64

There's also flash cards (USB loadable) for just about every vintage
game console.
